Sensory-Targeted Ankle Rehabilitation Strategies (STARS)

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Chronic Ankle Instability

In brief

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of 3 types of sensory-targeted rehabilitation interventions on subjective and objective measures of function for those with chronic ankle instability. The investigators hypothesize that subjective and objective measures of function including self-reported disability, balance, and range of motion will improve after 2-weeks of sensory-targeted interventions.
